Social Foundation
The minimum every human being deserves, simply because they are human.
Imagine a world where no one is left behind. Where every person — no matter their birthplace, gender, or income — has what they need to live with dignity, opportunity, and hope. That is the heart of the social foundation.
What Makes Up the Social Foundation?
The social foundation is built on 12 essential dimensions of human well-being. These are the things no one should go without:
Food
Clean water and sanitation
Health and healthcare
Housing
Education
Social equity
Income and work
Networks and connectivity
Political voice and participation
Peace and justice
Gender equality
Energy
Together, they form the floor — the foundation — on which people can build healthy, empowered lives.
Where Are We Now?
Sadly, despite progress in some areas, billions of people still live below the social foundation:
Over 700 million people live in extreme poverty
1 in 10 lacks access to clean water
Over 250 million children are out of school
Millions live without reliable electricity or basic healthcare
Gender inequality, racial injustice, and political silencing remain widespread
In many parts of the world, people are falling through the cracks — not because the world lacks resources, but because they are not shared fairly.
